Boss in the Barn

Service Description

🐔🎨 The Boss in the Barn Oil Pastel on Coloured Paper | Ages 9–14 📍Picasso Campus – 451 South Road, Bentleigh 🔥 FOR KIDS Step aside. He has entered the barn. Bright. Confident. Slightly dramatic. This is not just a chicken. This is The Boss. In this workshop, you’ll draw a powerful, impressionistic hen using oil pastels on coloured paper — layering red, orange, green and electric blue feathers until they almost glow. Loose strokes. Bold colour. Strong posture. We’re not drawing a cute farm doodle. We’re creating presence. Did you know chickens can recognise over 100 different faces? This boss definitely knows who’s in charge. If you love animals and want to draw them with strength and style — this is your barnyard moment 🐔✨ ⸻ 👨‍👩‍👧 FOR PARENTS The Boss in the Barn is a vibrant oil pastel workshop designed for 9–14 year olds ready to push beyond simple animal drawings into expressive, semi-realistic representation. While the style leans toward impressionism, the learning focus is grounded in structure: proportion, posture, and observing real feather patterns. Students will explore how bold colour choices can still support realistic form. This workshop is especially engaging for pet-loving children who are constantly sketching animals at home but want to develop more control and sophistication in their work. Oil pastel on coloured paper allows for strong layering, rich texture, and confident mark-making — a powerful combination for this age group. For young artists who love animals — and want to draw them with authority.
